www.nyu.edu/summer
This course
offers students the opportunity to work with some of the most outstanding
scholars and artists in the Americas on the topic "Globalization,
Migration, and the Public Sphere" for a two week, intensive seminar
in Peru. The seminar is comprised of daily workshops, mini scholarly seminars,
theatre, installations, and performances, working groups and round-table
discussions. Students will engage in collaborative projects with other
students in the Americas-including Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Cuba-and
present a work-in-progress presentation as a final assignment. These
projects can be a written paper, a performance, or a joint presentation
on collaborative work. Workshops in the past have included masking, performing
with objects, performance as activism, indigenous performance traditions,
dance from various parts of the Americas (i.e. Afro-Cuban, Samba) and
web technologies for art, activism, and education. Mini seminars focus
on comparatist themes in the Americas: performance theory, feminist and
gay/lesbian performance, ethnic performance, art and activism, and other
topics of hemispheric importance. Nightly performances feature major artists.There
is a $250 materials fee for the course in addition to New York University's
tuition. For an additional fee of $500, students have the option of participating
in a three-day festival of masked performance in the Andean town of Paucartambo
following the seminar.
